First of all: congratulations Super Bowl winner, Taylor Swift!
In a buzzy Super Bowl spot, Universal Pictures showcases Ryan Gosling in a new light in the upcoming film “The Fall Guy.” Directed by David Leitch, this thriller is packed with action sequences, aliens, and even space cowboys. However, it’s a particular moment featuring Gosling, a known Swiftie, that has gone viral.
A Swiftie Moment in the Spotlight
The spot for “The Fall Guy” reveals Gosling’s character, a stuntman and bounty hunter, in a vulnerable moment, shedding tears in his car to the sounds of Taylor Swift’s “All Too Well.” This emotional scene is humorously acknowledged by Emily Blunt’s character when she asks if he’s been crying to a Taylor Swift song, prompting Gosling’s character to retort, “Doesn’t everybody?”
Taylor Swift’s NFL Connection
The choice of Taylor Swift’s song for this poignant moment in the trailer is particularly apt, considering Swift’s visibility within the NFL sphere during the 2023 season. Swift has been a fixture at multiple NFL games, notably supporting her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. Her presence at the NFL games, including the 2024 Super Bowl, has been a highlight of sports coverage, making her music an integral part of the current pop culture and sports crossover narrative.
Star-Studded Cast and Creative Minds
“The Fall Guy” is a modern adaptation of Glen A. Larson’s 1980s television series, bringing together a stellar cast including Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Stephanie Hsu, Winston Duke, Hannah Waddingham, and Teresa Palmer. Gosling stars as Colt Seavers, a stuntman embroiled in the search for a missing movie star he once doubled for, with Blunt playing his ex-girlfriend Jody.
Behind the scenes, the film boasts a creative team including writer Drew Pearce and producers David Leitch, Ryan Gosling, Kelly McCormick, and Guymon Casady. The executive production team features Pearce, Larson, Peter Cramer, Cecil O’Connor, Matt Reilly, and Geoff Shaevitz, ensuring that the film is both a nod to its original inspiration and a fresh take for contemporary audiences.
Wrapping Up
With its intriguing mix of high-octane action, emotional depth, and cultural references, “The Fall Guy” is shaping up to be a must-see movie for a wide range of audiences. The inclusion of Taylor Swift’s music not only serves as a touching moment within the Super Bowl ad but also highlights the seamless integration of pop culture into cinematic storytelling. “The Fall Guy” is set to hit theaters on May 3, promising a blend of action, humor, and heart.
